Tom, do you find it odd that Ahmad is yet to sign? Also, any word on an additional free agent signing?

Tom

I know TT might get criticized for not taking TJ Watt but I still would have made that trade for king and Biegel it's still might pan out

Tom, was there any evidence of alien invasion in Green Bay in the offseason? My theory is TT has been replaced by a body snatcher. Or do you think Murphy said something to him? I don't buy what TT would say about this - oh this opportunity, that opportunity. I think he actually learned he needs to use all tools to build the roster, as McGinn would say. Your thoughts

by Dan V.8/31/2017 10:43:06 PM

Maybe he realized his time is winding down and this is the best chance he's going to have to win a SB. He doesn't usually work that way but desperation can affect us all.

by Tom Silverstein8/31/2017 10:43:50 PM

Tom, who's going to be the, "Wow! I didn't see that coming!" cut?

by EcuadorBucky8/31/2017 10:43:53 PM

I don't know if there will be one. One guy who I wonder about is Brett Hundley. I'm told he's going to play the first half tonight. If they were totally sold on him, they wouldn't even need to play him tonight. They'd be looking just at Hill and Callahan. Seems unlikely they'd cut him, but he hasn't been all that great.

by Tom Silverstein8/31/2017 10:45:34 PM

really going to watch the secondary, and then the cuts come Saturday.. it should tell us a lot about the team, if they are happy with who we have, or bring in some players..

Tom: Based on the light hearted banter you had with Coach McCarthy at the press conference over injured players, would you say he has loosened up a little this year?

by PackerBacker508/31/2017 10:45:57 PM

Training camp is a different animal. There's nothing on the line. McCarthy will tighten up as the regular season starts.

Hey Tom, should I be worried about Brooks not being officially signed by now?

by Mark From Houston8/31/2017 10:51:35 PM

I don't think so. They may still be working out some contractual things. I would think it's coming soon.

by Tom Silverstein8/31/2017 10:52:08 PM

What time does that blog start on Saturday?

by Bongo8/31/2017 10:52:11 PM

Probably around 7 a.m.

by Tom Silverstein8/31/2017 10:52:17 PM

I don't really see Hill or Callahan on the 53 man roster. Too many options elsewhere.

by AZ8/31/2017 10:52:22 PM

When's the first chat with LeRoy?

by Paul NJ 8/31/2017 10:52:25 PM

We hope to do it next Tuesday.

by Tom Silverstein8/31/2017 10:52:31 PM

Do the rookie first and second rounders play tonight?

by Dan V.8/31/2017 10:52:41 PM

There is no first-rounder and Kevin King (groin) is out. S Josh Jones will play.

by Tom Silverstein8/31/2017 10:53:01 PM

Tom, Mom says do your best again

by Robert8/31/2017 10:53:07 PM

Put me in coach! I am ready to play!

by Bongo8/31/2017 10:53:09 PM

Sorry I'm late. Fire Capers.

by Cy Clone8/31/2017 10:53:10 PM

Surprised that's all. Jaguars are sitting most starters and they suck.

by Badgerscott8/31/2017 10:53:19 PM

Yep, Hundley might get cut. Monkeys must might fly out of my butt. There's just as good a chance of that. Cmon, get real.

by Troy8/31/2017 10:53:24 PM

I do not think that Hundley is ready to start for another team. He holds the ball too long and does not move in the pocket well enough. We all hear the rumors about other teams being interested in him. Are the rumors wishful thinking or is there an interest ?

by Bill8/31/2017 10:53:33 PM

I think it's wishful thinking. There might be some teams willing to pony up a fourth or fifth, but I"d be surprised if it were any higher.

by Tom Silverstein8/31/2017 10:53:59 PM

Tom, why do you even post comments from nasty ignoramuses like Pack Defense Sucks? Two things:1. "All" Ted did to improve the defense was draft D with his first 4 draft picks, while also signing Jean-Francis.2. If TT hadn't tried to sign Brooks, I'll bet guys like PDS would be all over this board complaining about it.

by Iowa Pack Fan8/31/2017 10:54:05 PM

It allows people to respond and counter with informed opinion.

by Tom Silverstein8/31/2017 10:54:40 PM

How many receivers do you think they will keep?

by Kloo8/31/2017 10:54:43 PM

Its got to be seven.

by Tom Silverstein8/31/2017 10:54:48 PM

Maybe Hundley needs to prove something for a trade partner.

by Dan V.8/31/2017 10:54:52 PM

Rich Gannon, who knows something about quarterbacking, thinks Hundley is better than any QB the Browns, Jags or Jets currently have.
